A month into Trump’s presidency & the use of DOGE, efforts to bypass Congress and threaten other nations’ sovereignty are proving less effective than the media suggests. The world is taking notice, shifting left, and if Americans don’t push back, the U.S. risks losing more than its global influence

I’m not sure what’s more concerning, only 17% of college students passing Maths GCSE on their second attempt, or Labour wanting to water it down before their first attempt just to hit their targets. #r4today

So, what will EU leaders do now? You have political bullies, in the form of J.D. Vance and his ilk, at your doorstep. He has even aligned himself with Germany’s far-right AfD. Will you stand your ground, or will you let Vance and his allies push you around?

There’s a clear push to normalise extreme positions under the guise of pragmatism or security. Whether it’s immigration, protest rights, or welfare cuts, the erosion of empathy is being framed as necessity. Fighting for kindness isn’t just sentimental, it’s about defending fundamental rights. #bbcqt

I’m starting to believe that everything wrong in the world is our fault. Yes, the greatest blame lies with those who directly cause harm, but we sit here every day—gaslit into complacency—made to think that we, the empathetic, are the minority. At worst, we believe it. At best we do nothing #r4today

Elon Musk definitely has something on Donald Trump.

Trump wants the U.S. to take over Gaza now? What fresh Hell is this!? How can the world not see he’s trying to build an empire while silencing dissent at home and abroad? Where are our international leaders? Where are the people!?

Would really love to hear the perspective on these tariffs (and everything else) from American’s who’ve voted for Trump. Is this what you envisaged? #tariffs

I just can’t take it anymore. I refuse to subject myself to another second of the right-wing propaganda masquerading as balanced journalism on Radio 4’s Today program—all in the name of “staying informed.” You will never see me reference #r4today again

Justin Webb sounds almost disappointed that borrowing costs are down in this country. #r4today

The cost difference between ChatGPT and DeepSeek comes down to profiteering driven by these companies’ self-assured hubris. They set unsustainable prices from the start, knowing they wouldn’t hold up in the long term. What’s funny is this is being spun as a bad thing. #r4today

It’s 7am in the Farage Household as Donald Trump declares he has a “very good relationship” with Keir Starmer.

Anyone else disappointed Prince Harry didn’t take The Sun to trial? Feels like a missed opportunity to actually change the way media outlets operate in this country.

Rewriting history in front of our very eyes.

Elon Musk will be Elon Musk. Donald Trump will be Donald Trump. But we must remember those who stood by in silence as Musk gave a Nazi salute—twice. Even the darkest night gives way to day, but the length of the night depends on one thing: how many people choose to do nothing.

Sitting here wondering how Elon Musk can throw up a Nazi salute twice and it doesn’t even make the BBC front page or get mentioned on Radio 4 Today. Honestly feels like I’m stuck in some twisted version of the Truman Show, and everyone’s in on it except me. #r4today

“To bring hope, first of all, Palestinians should disconnect from Terrorism. Secondly they must stop incitement. They’re already poisoning the mind of the new generation.” Gideon Sa’ar with genocidal rhetoric and not ONE rebuttal from Nick Robinson. #r4today
